STUDY INDICATES OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENTS RAPIDLY ELIMINATE ADD, ADHD AND BIPOLAR

DISORDER IN CHILDREN

 

EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make so must be

obtained through our diet or by supplements. An imbalance of omega-6 and

omega-3 can result in an overall inflammatory response. Symptoms of ADHD

and related disorders are easily eliminated in 80 percent of children

within two weeks by merely supplementing with omega-3 oils and eliminating

processed foods (especially refined sugars) from kids' diets.

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have reported that omega-3

fatty acid is highly effective in treating children with ADD, ADHD and bipolar

disorder. The study was reported in the journal European

Neuropsychopharmacology in February 2007.

 

" Results from this prospective, open study of monotherapy with omega-3 fatty

acids in the over-the-counter product OmegaBrite suggest that manic symptoms

can be rapidly reduced in youths with BPD with a safe and well-tolerated

nutritional supplement, " wrote lead researcher Dr. Janet Wozniak.

 

The high-EPA supplement of Omega-3 fatty acids, called OmegaBrite, was

tested for effectiveness and safety on 20 boys and girls with bipolar disorder,

ages 6 to 17 years old, over an eight-week period. Half of the participants

experienced a rapid 30 percent reduction in symptoms with no side effects.

 

" What this study shows is that every child with ADD, bipolar or any other

mood disorder should be on OmegaBrite, " said Dr. John Ratey, author of the

best-selling Driven to Distraction and a well-respected expert on ADD. " And the

only side effect is a longer life. "

 

" This is great news for parents, " said Dr. Carol Locke, who served on the

Harvard Medical School faculty for 14 years before creating OmegaBrite.

" Parents are always struggling with how best to help their children. It is

incredibly gratifying to develop a product that offers a safe mood stabilizer

and

natural anti-depressant. "

 

The study demonstrated that supplements reduced the participating children's

Young Mania Rating Scale scores (YMRS) -- the standard rating scale for

children with bipolar disorder -- by 30 percent. The same research team

conducted

a similar study with risperidone or olanzapine, the two most commonly

prescribed drugs for the disorder. The pharmaceuticals treated the children's

disorders but led to side effects including diabetes.

 

Other commonly prescribed drugs such as lithium, divalproex and

carbamazepine are only minimally effective or fraught with adverse effects, the

researchers noted.

 

" EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make so we must

obtain them in our diet, which is very hard to do, or by supplements, " said

Locke. " An imbalance of omega-6 and omega-3 can result in an overall

inflammatory response and related disorders such as depression, cardiac

disease,

cancer, dementia, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. "

 

Locke concluded, " Over the next five years, we will see Omega-3 fatty acids

become a foundation of health. "

 

ADHD is a fictitious disease invented by the pharmaceutical industry to sell

amphetamine drugs to children. The conventional medical industry doesn't

want to talk about nutritional cures for diseases or disorders because they

know

that if consumers were made aware of how simply and inexpensively these

conditions could be resolved with nutrition, sales of pharmaceuticals would

plummet. Symptoms of ADHD are easily eliminated in 80 percent of children

within

two weeks by merely supplementing with omega-3 oils and eliminating processed

foods (especially refined sugars) from kids' diets.

 

The psychiatric industry does not promote nutrition as a method for

preventing or treating depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD or other mental or

behavioral conditions. Instead, it works to keep consumers ignorant of such

solutions and pretends that these diseases are caused by " brain chemistry

imbalances "

that can only be corrected with synthetic patented chemicals

(pharmaceuticals). Essentially, modern psychiatry believes that all such

disorders are

caused by a pharmaceutical deficiency. This belief conveniently serves the

profit

motives of the drug companies which now virtually run modern psychiatry.

The question that seems to be implied in this message is whether it

is a deficiency of omega-3 that causes ADD, ADHD, etc. Are we just

bags of chemicals and if you add more of an isolated one then

everything is ok?
